Description
Impact
Users with an enabled repository with access to repo level CI secrets in Vela are vulnerable to the exploit.
Any user with access to the CI instance and the linked source control manager can perform the exploit.
Method

These secrets could be exfiltrated by follow up builds to the repository.
